The Railroad by Lee Hazlewood Lyrics

Genre: country | Year: 1969

[Verse 1:]
Workin' on the railroad all day long
Workin' on the railroad sing this song
Sing about an old love I once knew
Sing about an old love maybe two

[Chorus:]
Workin' on the railroad[x2]
Work...work...workin' on the...railroad

[Verse 2:]
I drove a hot steel in my time
I drink a lot of stuff they call moonshine
I got me a woman in every town
Workin' on the railroad, never settle down

[Chorus]

[Verse 3:]
I draw my pay on a Saturday night
Go in town and had start a fight
Love me a woman a laugh and a joke
Workin' on the railroad, always abroke
[Chorus]

[Verse 4:]
When I die and you bury me
Alongside the tracks where I wanna be
Don't you cry friend just remember this
There ain't much you all 'body miss

[Chorus]
